New Vision Christian Church of Willingboro
Ambrose F. Duckett, Jr., Pastor


First Samuel
      Samuel, the last judge and first great prophet in Israel, anoints the first king.  Though Saul's physical credentials are impressive, his indifferent heart attitude toward God results in the kingdom being taken away from his family.  In his place Samuel anoints young David as the king-elect.  David becomes a growing threat to the insanely jealous Saul, eventually fleeing to the wilderness for his very life.  But God's hand of protection is clearly upon David, even as God's hand of judgment is being felt by Saul and his family.  Foolishly consulting a medium at En Dor, Saul hears his own doom pronounced.  True to the prophet's word, Saul and his sons are killed the next day in combat.
